Swimming The Horses
They're swimming the horses down at the pier
They're going to race them again this year
You hear them blowing
Throwing their heads up
Over the waves
Didn't we roam far when the weather was fine
Laugh and drink the red red wine
Like all the other drunken lovers
Climbing their ivy vines
To the moon
The winds out west will come back to haunt me
Back here in this reverie a strayaway cry is heard
It echoes like the night bird
Out over Dooneen
They're swimming the horses down at the pier
They're going to race them again this year
Your hear them blowing
Throwing their heads up
Over the waves
The Last King Of Feothanach
The Last King Of Feothanach
For Alec Granville
Oh the Last King of Feothanach was wandering by my window
Head bent forward all along the windy quay
All my troubles evaporated when I heard the music
A moment of music with the sisters of the sea
And he, he was singing all alone in the whistling breeze
There's a hole in the heavens that the clouds made when they parted
A patch of the ocean only he can plainly see
When he closes his eyes he can hear his own true lover
A moment of music then she's gone so suddenly
And he, he is singing all alone in the whistling breeze
Try to catch the feeling the momentum of the moment
A moment of music oh say who could it be
He would ordinarily have liked to hear the blackbird
But the song of the raven won him over eventually
And he, he was singing all alone in the whistling breeze
There'll be flowers on the water when the last king leaves forever
In a moment of music we'll be waving from the quay
While the blackbird and the raven watch together
The last king of Feothanach will sail away to sea
And he, he'll be singing all alone in the whistling breeze
All Down The Day
We got away from our terrible town
And happily crossed the water
All down the day
Down London way
Singing in a dingy room
And working in the morning
All down the day
Down London way
You were funny and you were free
You were my inspiration
All down the day
Down London way
With saveloy and cider can
The life of rainy day heroes
All down the day
Down London way
And then you went and you wandered home
When summertime was over
All down the day
Down London way
Down and out in London town
The black dog following after
All down the day
Down London way
Those rainy days were an old sweet song
That I know but I can’t remember
All down the day
Down London way
Where Foxglove
Where foxglove and the fuchsia grows fuchsia grows
And tumbles down to the sea
We looked into a midnight well
Reflected there imperfectly
The rhapsody of traffic swells traffic swells
The northside echoes with history
The rush hour crowds and old church bells
The flickering of a cinema screen
And what did you see in the midnight well midnight well
Were you only in a garden in the rain
What symphonies in Dublin town
In the rackety swaying of an evening train
And who will you love even so even so
When the crowds have faded by and by
Will all the birds be singing out
When morning breaks upon our eyes
The Old Coastal
There are moments that come so easily to mind
Like a first kiss of wind
And they tear away with you for ever
We're deep south and the day begins
With sunlight on bare skin
That shrouds the ways of your dreaming
All i really wanted to do
Was play the vagabond blues with you wherever you came from
Down at the crossroads we're all the same
And maybe we'll never find our way home
Oh I would tear away with you for ever
The famous gambles have all gone south
It's just another tall tale
From an old coastal rambler
Who tramps the winding river mouth
Boats washed up and creaking
As one by one clouds cross over
God's country and the devil's hand
I know them both well and
Isn't it a shame
That god and devil are the same
They take your time
Tear away all the your treasure
There are moments that come so easily to mind
Like a first kiss of wind
And they tear away with you for ever
The stars go out and the day begins
It's a good day to ramble on
Oh I would tear away with you for ever
